Sweet 16... Plus 7
I literally wrote this huge political blog, and then at the last minute decided to not post it, because you all know how I get when I talk politics, and I still haven't recovered from the last political bashing I had... So I decided not to.
What has been going on in my life? Oh my goodness, so much! October was amazing! I did all kinds of October things, like corn mazes, and pumpkin carving, and raking leaves, and watched a scary movie (ParaNorman... it scared me...), and drank hot chocolate, and passed out candy, and dressed up, and went to General Conference in the conference center for the first time... *whew*! It was a very productive and wonderful month! I just LOVE October!
And now it's November! So, we all know why this month is important; it's my birthday. I'm turning...... 23.... SHHHHHH! Wow, did you have to say that so loud? *sigh*... I've never felt like I was aging before, but 23? Oh gosh... why not just check me into the old people's home? I know, all my friends keep saying it's not old.... and I know it's not, compared to most of the people I associate with... but for me? I am dreading this birthday; not the party, just the getting older. I just wish that I was 18 again, starting college, and getting to act 18. I feel like I still act 18, so now I don't even know how to talk to people because I feel like whatever I say I'll be thought of as immature now, because apparently it is not ok to act 18 when you are 23. *sigh*. It's ridiculous.
But, the happy note of this month is that I get to go home to see my amazing family! I haven't been home since March, as you're all well aware, and I am beyond homesick. I finally get to meet Henry! I can't believe he is already five months old! It's ridiculous. I can't believe I still haven't met him... Every time I call he seems to have gotten bigger. And Jaxon? That kid seems to have grown up over night. Hyrum told me to stop calling him baby a few weeks ago. I pretty much started crying. Why is my family growing up? Anyways, I'm just excited to see them... and maybe I won't come back. Maybe. Haha. We are going to have Thanksgiving with everyone except Dallin and Richard; although we'll probably skype Dallin. I cannot believe Richard has been on his mission for a year! What?! That just flies by! It's so crazy! I guess if you don't dwell on time, it moves quickly. But I think it should be fun! Us girls are all going Black Friday shopping! We've never been. I've worked it, and my mom has gone, but this year is our first! Wow! It should be an adventure. I'm not sure how I'll enjoy it, since I don't really like shopping with huge groups of people around. But still! Can't wait!
Sorry I haven't written in so long. This is unacceptable. I won't go this long without writing again. It all seemed so muddled, and I like to go into details with my stories!

sister. doug took me to see paranorman. he was all excited about it. adn then it was this huge let down. like, awful movie. i thought we told you? we could have saved you the experience. and, also, i felt the same way about 23. weird. it's okay though, once you get past it, you're okay again for awhile. at least, i'm still doing good. the feeling has yet to return. :)
